Untitled

The film was widely noted at the time for its same-sex kiss between Kevin Kline and Tom Selleck. Though not a first for American cinema, Kline and Selleck were the most established stars to date to portray a kiss between two gay men.

How is "most established stars" an objective rating? Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve kissed in 1982's Deathtrap. I'm removing this line as subjective and false. -Branddobbe 02:21, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

agreed; Deathtrap did it first. Uucp 03:55, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:In and out poster.jpg

Image:In and out poster.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Because of death

"Goodman, who composed several of Oz's previous films, was unable to do so due to his death" Does this line seem a little too awkward/comedic? I can't think of a better way to word it. It doesn't sound right though. 198.6.33.13 (talk) 16:28, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to "Goodman, who composed several of Oz's previous films, died before he could do so." I welcome other options. DonIago (talk) 16:50, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia Addition

I'm kind of baffled that when I went looking for references to this, I found absolutely none. I think it's a fairly significant bit of trivia regarding the film. But it wasn't even on the IMDB trivia page (though I just submitted it). So I'd like some opinions. I want to add it, but it seems a bad idea to create a trivia section just for this fact. Maybe add it to the Production section?

>Howard being a dedicated fan of Barbra Streisand is a recurring joke throughout the film, and in this film, Bob Newhart plays the school principle who has to decide the fate of Howard's job, amid a lot of controversy and press. In 1970 Newhart played a school administrator in the Barbra Streisand film On a Clear Day You Can See Forever (1970), where he had to decide on the fate of Professor Marc Chabot's job (portrayed by Yves Montand ), amid a lot of controversy and press.

That's how I wrote it for the IMDB page, but I might make the language up a bit more conversational for adding it in here. Thoughts? CleverTitania (talk) 03:39, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Have any reliable sources made note of it? DonIago (talk) 05:20, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I kind of thought "found none" in regard to "looking for references" made it clear that no one else online has noted this before now, that I could find. But I've also almost never seen a "source" on this kind of trivia. It's not as if the fact that Newhart played both roles needs a source to verify it as factually correct.CleverTitania (talk) 07:41, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

True, but that also suggests to me that it is in fact just WP:TRIVIA, and I'm strongly opposed to adding such material if no third-party source has taken note of it. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 15:27, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question about the film's title.

In watching the movie today, I was asking myself the question: why is the movie's title "In & Out?"

We could not answer my question by watching the movie. So I came here to try and find an answer. But to my surprise I wasn't able to find in the WP article an answer to the question. My best guess, in thinking about it, would be:

"In (the closet) & Out (of the closet)." Is this the correct answer? Do any movie experts out there have a verified and/or verifiable answer to this question? Thank you, warshy ^(¥¥) 00:48, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
